Procmail will look for /etc/.procmailrc first when it runs, but if this
file is not present it will then proceed to the .procmailrc in the home
directory.

Good idea.

How do you actually create your user accounts - with this or linuxconf
or useradd or what?

With useradd. Okay, I've created a .procmailrc account in /home/a_beno which is my main email account that reads thus:
>>>
SHELL=/bin/sh
LINEBUF=4096
PATH=${HOME}/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail
VERBOSE=yes
DEFAULT=${MAILDIR}/
ADMINFOLDER=${DEFAULT}
MYEMAIL=${HOME}/.myemail
SBDIR=${HOME}/spambouncer
BLOCKFOLDER=${DEFAULT}
BULKFOLDER=${DEFAULT}
SPAMFOLDER=/dev/null
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/logfile
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/logfile
LOCKFILE=${HOME}/.lockmail
FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
<<<
All of that stuff should work: I got all of it from respected sources and it should all be installed correctly (it was easy enough to do). But when I send a test email to that account nothing gets logged. I'm frustrated. This should be easy to install but I must be missing something. Any ideas on how to debug?
TIA,
BenO
